Former Weather Underground Radical Kathy Boudin Now Teaches at Columbia University School of Social Work

She served 22 years in prison for her crimes, was paroled, and has a right to live and work in the general population. But this story's really about the outrageous moral inversions of left-wing radicalism, ensconced at America's universities especially. At the New York Post, "Outrage 101: Radical jailed in slay now Columbia prof."

Judgment Day: Stockton Is Bankrupt

From Walter Russell Mead, at Via Media:

Stockton is already burdened with 18.7% unemployment and the highest foreclosure rate in the US, and now things are going to get much worse. These are the consequences of pursuing so many expensive public projects and endless employee benefits. The city’s leadership simply assumed that revenue would increase indefinitely. Now it’s all come tumbling down, and pensioners and the poor will suffer the worst of the fallout.

It’s hard to see how the state could be experiencing a “comeback” when multiple cities are declaring bankruptcy—San Bernardino is up next. This is just the beginning of Stockton’s legal and financial mess. The effect of today’s decision will be closely watched by unions and insolvent cities across the country.

Well, yeah it's hard to see a comeback. California state government is the ultimate fiscal black hole. See the Sacramento Bee, "State auditor: California's net worth at negative $127.2 billion."

And it's not getting better anytime soon, according to a weekend report at the Orange County Register, "California state government 'failing' on transparency."

For Latinos, 'Wetback' is Just Like 'Nigga' — It's Only Racist When White People Say It

I find the term repulsive, and the backlash against Rep. Don Young is well deserved. That said, if "wetback" is genuinely racist, then it shouldn't be acceptable for discourse among any demographic, not just when uttered by those of the hegemonic "racist" white oppressor class.

Behold the hypocrisy, at the Los Angeles Times, "For Latinos, a Spanish word loaded with meaning":

When Boyle Heights shop owner Arturo Macias hears fellow Latinos use the Spanish word for "wetback," he doesn't necessarily take offense.

Macias, who crossed illegally into the U.S. through Tijuana two decades ago, has heard the term "mojado" for much of his life and sees it less as an insult than a description of a common immigrant experience.

"As a country of immigrants," he says in Spanish, "in one way or another, we're all mojados."

Macias is very offended, however, when he hears a non-Latino say "wetback." That distinction befuddles his 20-year-old daughter Karina.

"It definitely is a term to divide people," she said. "You can't use it as a term of endearment at all, whether it's someone outside of your culture or not."

An Alaska's congressman's reference to "wetbacks" during a radio interview last week stirred an uproar and he was forced to apologize. In Latino communities, the episode highlighted how cultural reactions to the word have changed through generations.

Everyone seems to agree that the English version of the term is highly offensive to Latinos when others use it. But when Latinos use mojado — which literally means "wet" but is also used to describe illegal immigrants in the United States — it's different.

"My grandfather, for all practical purposes, was a mojado. They call each other mojados," veteran Latino activist Arnoldo Torres said. "It's about understanding the complexity. Of seven, eight, nine, generations of Latinos that have lived in the United States."

Torres was already dealing with the fallout of the word 30 years ago.

In 1983, Ernest Hollings, a South Carolina senator running for the Democratic presidential nomination, used the English term at a dinner during a campaign stop in Des Moines. Hollings apologized and met with a group of Latino leaders, including Torres, then the executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

"We said, 'Look, this is why it's offensive.' We weren't looking for some astronomical apology," Torres said. "Our hope was very simple. If we're able to educate him, maybe he can tell others."

Each time the word resurfaces, it carries with it a long history and a nuanced reputation.

The English term, originally coined after Mexicans illegally entered the U.S. by swimming or wading across the Rio Grande, evolved to include a broader group of immigrants who entered into the country on foot or in cars. The Spanish translation espaldas mojadas, is typically shortened to just mojado or mojada, depending on the person's gender.

In 1954, as the U.S. economy sputtered to find its footing after the Korean War, the government launched the now-infamous Operation Wetback, a deportation drive that sent Mexicans back to Mexico in droves and roused complaints of racial profiling and fractured families.

During that decade, the term was still splashed across the pages of the country's major newspapers.

Yes, because you know it's okay when non-Latinos spew "wetbacks."

'Because through the heart of every leftist runs the blood of totalitarianism, of confirmation bias, of rank bigotry and a mob’s lust for violence, for punishment, for blood, for inflicting suffering on those who dare oppose their designs...'

A brilliant essay from Jeff Goldstein, at Protein Wisdom, "As the country slides into liberal fascism, conservatives are being set up as the scapegoat":

Hold onto your gear and prepare yourselves. Register nothing. Resist them at every turn. Don’t cooperate. Refuse to compromise. Because it is coming. And if you don’t feel it, and prepare for it, more’s the pity.

Next-Generation WWII Atonement

A great piece, at Der Spiegel, "'Our Mothers, Our Fathers': ZDF TV Miniseries Reopens Wounds of German WWII Past":

A miniseries that aired in Germany this month has enthralled viewers with its emotional portrayal of the role that average people played in WWII. Stripped of moral pretension, it also establishes a new, multigenerational milestone in the country's culture of remembrance.

At the end, the famous zero hour, when the survivors meet again in the now-abandoned Berlin pub they used to frequent, tight-lipped, with empty faces and a dull look in their eyes, everything comes down to a single sentence. None of them can say it out loud. It would sound far too weighty in light of the historic nothingness they face in their reunion.

Instead, a voice-over delivers what is, in a sense, the moral of the story following the demise of Nazi Germany in May 1945, establishing both an end and a beginning: "Soon there will only be Germans, and not a single Nazi."

At this point, the SS major has burned his brown uniform and already sits in a neatly pressed suit at a desk for the occupying power, announcing matter-of-factly that his experience is needed. The others, the war-wounded, look as lost as strangers as they stand in the wreckage, without the slightest idea of what comes next.

But the viewers, with their knowledge of the historical facts, do know what comes next. They already knew what would happen when the five friends said their farewells in the summer of 1941 with the promise: "We'll see each other at Christmas." They are familiar with the deceptive nature of the euphoria that followed the first battles of encirclement and drove the German army, now sure of victory, into the broad expanses of Russian territory. They have learned that the SS paramilitary death squads known as Einsatzgruppen were raging behind the front, murdering large numbers of people, women and children included. They also know that the regular German army, the Wehrmacht, was also culpable, if only because it made these crimes against humanity possible in the first place.

Most of all, they know how quickly things went uphill for West Germany after Nazi capitulation. They are familiar with the German economic miracle as a form of compensation, with democracy and Western European unification under the protective cloak of the Allies. And then German partition, the Cold War and the war generation's long silence and efforts to repress the past, a generation that girded itself with the West German success story. And they know about the recurring shock waves of enlightenment, remembrance, shame, mourning and coming to terms with the past that have rolled across German society at regular intervals since the 1960s.

I'd like to see that.

Outrage! Human Rights Campaign Censors Transgender Activist and Queer DREAMer at SCOTUS Gay Marriage Rally

And you'd think they'd be sensitive to marginalized minorities.

The jerks!

HRC is a racist, bigoted hegemonic anti-civil rights oppressor of transgendered, queer alien DREAMers!

At BuzzFeed, "With Apology, LGBT Rights Group Seeks to Avoid Reopening Old Wounds."

RELATED: At Queer Insurrection, "F**k You, HRC":

We don’t want tolerance, acceptance, and acknowledgement from straight people. We want real, systemic change because we, as queers, understand that the systemic crises of normativity, capitalism, and imperialism are linked to all forms of oppression. Sexism, racism, classism, able-ism, ageism, nationalism, homophobia—these are all interlinked and intertwined with each other because of our racist and classist education system, unequal access to jobs, recruitment of poor people of color in to the military, religious fundamentalism as a profit motive, corporate tyranny, the napoleon complex (police brutality), violence, threats of violence, and most of all, straight white males dominating the world economy through exploitation, lies, deceit, and an iron fist.

Don’t believe me? Ever been to a low-income neighborhood? Is it just a coincidence that the demographic is dominantly people of color? Are they lazy? Can you work 3 jobs and over 80 hours a week at minimum wage to feed a family of 4 and be lazy? Have you wondered why a majority of the top 100 richest people in the world are white males? Are all white males just hard working people, miles ahead of the rest? Have you wondered why a CEO makes a $4,000,000,000 bonus even when they fire 30% of their company and their stocks fail? Ever wonder why our prisons are filled with people of color who are then used for slave labor for companies like Dell computers? Ever wonder why women are raped and then blamed for their own raping because they were “promiscuous” or “asking for it”? Of course the gay and lesbian movement doesn’t. They just want acceptance. Tolerance. They just want straight people to like them so they can ignore the issues facing people below them on the social totem pole, even if it is within their own community (the sexually and gender-presenting deviant). They just want to get married, serve in the military, and have a (white) family.

The gay and lesbian movement is run by the rich, white, gay (and sometimes lesbian) community who are ignorant (and insensitive) to issues facing the majority of the marginalized communities, especially their own. Or maybe they’re just selfish, greedy assholes who don’t really care about the entire community but a tiny, elitist sliver of it. A queer teenager is four times likelier to commit suicide. In New York, 20-40% of homeless youth are LGBT identified who were kicked out of their homes after coming out (that’s over 150,000 high school kids and younger in New York alone). Lack of healthcare makes transitioning almost impossible for lower-income transgender individuals (it’s still legal to discriminate against transgender or gender variant people in the workplace, how are you supposed to obtain a high income job?). Oh but the gay and lesbian movement doesn’t fucking care, they just want a property tax cut so they can make even more absurd amounts of money for themselves and gain some sort of façade of legitimacy in the court of law. They want to see their loved ones in the hospital when thousands of queers and people of color are dying because of lack of health care and basic resources needed to survive. They want to increase hate crime legislation to lock up more people of color in to the prison industrial complex to increase their property values and “clean up the streets.” And we are all standing by, cheering these people on and celebrating victories of prop 8 and DADT at the expense of people of color, youth, working class people, sex workers, and transgender people (which HRC decides to blatantly exclude from most of their politics)?! What the fuck?

The gay and lesbian movement are the same people who are running the mainstream magazines, the ones who have sold your identity off to big corporations to exploit you in to a niche (profitable) market (oh the gays love their designer bags oh and loafers are so chic now, all the gays wear them), the ones who make you feel ashamed about your gender non-conformity by blasting you with images of what a male and female body should look like, the same people who make you feel uncomfortable and insecure in “queer-friendly” spaces because they are racist, classist, or non body-positive...

So true! That reminds me of Jasmyne Cannick, "No-on-8's white bias":

The first problem with Proposition 8 was the issue of marriage itself. The white gay community never successfully communicated to blacks why it should matter to us above everything else -- not just to me as a lesbian but to blacks generally. The way I see it, the white gay community is banging its head against the glass ceiling of a room called equality, believing that a breakthrough on marriage will bestow on it parity with heterosexuals. But the right to marry does nothing to address the problems faced by both black gays and black straights. Does someone who is homeless or suffering from HIV but has no healthcare, or newly out of prison and unemployed, really benefit from the right to marry someone of the same sex?

Maybe white gays could afford to be singularly focused, raising millions of dollars to fight for the luxury of same-sex marriage. But blacks were walking the streets of the projects and reaching out to small businesses, gang members, convicted felons and the spectrum of an entire community to ensure that we all were able to vote.

Go tell it on the mountain baby.

Down with HRC!

Gay Marriage, Child-Rearing, Rights and Government

From the letters to the editor, at the Wall Street Journal:

Regarding Prop 8 and DOMA:

There is nothing in the Constitution requiring any level of government to treat homosexuality on an equal footing with heterosexuality. Also, there is nothing that requires the federal government to recognize any class of marriage supported by the states—just look at polygamy and Utah history, for example.

Prop 8 itself was passed to address a blatant case of judicial activism in which California courts struck down a constitutional law passed by the people of California. The attempt to overturn it is more of the same.

The question is, do we live in a democracy, or do we live in a state where the will of the people can be reversed if a sufficient number of elites decide to do so?

Richard Sol
Los Angeles

If the people of California may not arbitrarily define marriage as a relationship between one man and one woman, then why may they arbitrarily define it as a relationship between two, and only two, people?

If I want to have several marriage partners at the same time, and if I want them all to have equal access to spousal benefits from my employer, how might we fashion a constitutional challenge to California's bigamy law?

'Rainbow Journalism'

From Kevin Banet, at the Western Center for Journalism, "'Rainbow Journalism' Is The New Enemy of Children":

If you’re young, trendy and hip, and are strolling through downtown Minneapolis, you might grasp a copy of City Pages from the newstand. Its stories, appealing graphics, attractive restaurant ads and reviews of the local night club scene would seem to set you up for an upbeat weekend.

But look a little further, and you’ll uncover a fanatically-driven editorial policy that promotes sleeze and liberal causes. For example, “Savage Love” is a weekly sex advice column by the notorious sex activist Dan Savage. His recent advice includes using online resources to find a worker in the sex industry for a reader’s 22-year old mentally-ill brother. Ugh. The column is filled with trashy advice and crude language.

City Pages is part of a chain of 16 “alternative” free weekly papers around the country with a hefty combined circulation of 1.8 million. You wonder, an alternative to what? It’s an alternative to what is wholesome and true; City Pages promotes strip clubs, homosexuality, and condemns any moral message of Christianity. It scorns patriotism as well. One front-page display contained a mock-up photo of the Statue of Liberty with the words, “One nation under tacos.”

'The Will of Allah' — Man Fatally Shot at Ohio Church After Easter Service

At 19 Action News, Cleveland, Ohio, "Shooter says "This is the will of Allah" after shooting":

ASHTABULA, OH (WOIO) -

Ashtabula Police have identified the suspect and victim from Sunday's church shooting at the Hiawatha Church of God and Christ in Ashtabula.

The incident happened around 1:15 p.m. outside the church.

According to police, Reshad Riddle waited for his father, Richard Riddle to exit the church after services were over Sunday before shooting him in the head.

Richard Riddle's mother witnessed the shooting although most of the congregation was still inside the church.

The church was packed because of the Easter holiday.

The pastor told 19 Action News that after the shooting, Reshad then went into the church and sat down.  An assistant pastor at the church quotes Reshad as saying, "The will of Allah, this is the will of God."

The news station has changed the headline at the piece, obviously worried about a backlash from the likes of  unindicted CAIR.

'Folks, This is Classic, Classic Anti-Semitism' — Hanan Ashrawi's Passover Blood Libel

I saw this story days ago at Israel Matzav:

Folks, this is classic, classic anti-Semitism. Anyone who thinks these people are suddenly going to live in peace with Israelis when this is how they think is simply fooling himself.

The links take us to Elder of Ziyon, "Passover blood libel in Hanan Ashrawi's "Miftah" website."

And Elder of Ziyon has a thread at Memeorandum, "Miftah attacks me, refuses to condemn its blood libel":

Miftah has responded to my exposé of their anti-semitic article last week:

The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy, MIFTAH strongly denounces the smear campaign being carried out against it and, by association, its founder Dr. Hanan Ashrawi. The obscure pro-Israeli website “The Elder of Ziyon” has wrongly accused MIFTAH and Dr. Ashrawi of promoting Jewish blood libel during Passover through its publication of an Arabic-language article that briefly addressed the subject.

The disclaimer at the opening of the “News and Analysis” section clearly states that, “The views represented in [News and Analysis] are solely those of their authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of MIFTAH, but rather fulfill its mandate for open dialogue.” For the record, to avoid further misunderstanding, Al Zaru’s article has been taken down from MIFTAH’s website.

MIFTAH has and always will promote the principles of democracy and a peaceful solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. Articles published in its name on both its Arabic and English websites are proof of this philosophy. Neither MIFTAH nor Dr. Ashrawi has ever been associated with anti-Jewish or anti-Semitic campaigns due to their philosophy of promoting accurate and credible information...

Keep reading.

Elder writes:

Fully half of the article talks about the blood libel. It didn't "briefly address the subject," as Miftah's ridiculous attack on me suggests - it was the linchpin of the entire article, asking how President Obama could possibly support Israel and have a Passover Seder at the White House in light of the "fact' that Jews drink Christian blood on Passover. In no way was it only "briefly mentioned." In no possible way was this an oversight

And here's more, "Why can't Hanan Ashrawi's Miftah apologize for publishing antisemitism?":

Any Western newspaper, organization or major website would have not only fallen over themselves to distance themselves from the Jew-hatred exhibited in Miftah, but they would have fired the writer and the editor on the spot.

Why didn't Miftah?

The only possible explanation is that Miftah does not truly consider this article to be offensive. They think that those pesky Jews are making a big deal out of nothing. They believe that Jews are bloodthirsty anyway (at least the Zionist variety) and to Miftah it is not a great leap to say that Jews must have been that way forever. The site has literally hundreds of articles accusing Israeli Jews of "ethnic cleansing" of Arabs, to give only a tiny example of lies that Miftah accepts and promotes as fact. A previous Miftah article states that "there are documented reports from Haiti that organs are being stolen by Israelis without international justice intervening to put an end to such criminal practices against innocent vulnerable people." When the editors of Miftah believe such things already, how much of a stretch is it to believe that Jews ritually murder non-Jews to drink their blood?

Miftah's response was that "its work speaks for itself." I hope every funder of Miftah takes that statement very, very seriously when deciding whether to continue to send money to an organization that is utterly unrepentant about publishing pure hate.

And if Miftah belatedly issues a vague statement condemning antisemitism (probably together with one condemning Israel), we now know that it is only doing it to protect its funding and not because it actually considers antisemitism to be abhorrent.

That train has already left the station.

MIFTAH has now issued an apology, blaming the publication of blood libel on "a junior staff member":

Date posted: 01/04/2013

By: MIFTAH

The Palestinian Initiative for the Promotion of Global Dialogue and Democracy, MIFTAH would like to apologize for the recent and brief publication on our website of an article penned by Nawaf Al Zaru that discusses Jewish blood libel during Passover.

It has become clear to us after investigating this incident that the article was accidentally and incorrectly published by a junior staff member. The said staffer has been reprimanded and all our staff has been informed as to the disgusting and repulsive phenomena of blood libel or accusation, including its use against Jews. Dr. Hanan Ashrawi, as founder, has nothing to do with the day to day management at MIFTAH and was no way involved in this incident.

We express our sincerest regret for offense caused by the oversight that resulted in said publication. We are whole-heartedly committed to fighting racism, hatemongering, discrimination and persecution of any kind wherever it should exist, and especially in our own society.

Oops! Small Firms Limited to Single Health Plan Under ObamaCare

Yes, because the law was supposed to increase competition and lower premiums, or something.

#DemocratEconomics. #Fail.

At the New York Times, "Choice of Plans Under Health Law Delayed for Small Firms" (at Memeorandum):

WASHINGTON — Unable to meet tight deadlines in the new health care law, the Obama administration is delaying parts of a program intended to provide affordable health insurance to small businesses and their employees — a major selling point for the health care legislation.

The law calls for a new insurance marketplace specifically for small businesses, starting next year. But in most states, employers will not be able to get what Congress intended: the option to provide workers with a choice of health plans. They will instead be limited to a single plan.

This choice option, already available to many big businesses, was supposed to become available to small employers in January. But administration officials said they would delay it to 2015 in the 33 states where the federal government will be running insurance markets known as exchanges. And they will delay the requirement for other states as well.

The promise of affordable health insurance for small businesses was portrayed as a major advantage of the new health care law, mentioned often by White House officials and Democratic leaders in Congress as they fought opponents of the legislation.

Supporters of the health care law said they were disappointed by the turn of events.

The delay will “prolong and exacerbate health care costs that are crippling 29 million small businesses,” said Senator Mary L. Landrieu, Democrat of Louisiana and chairwoman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship.

In the weeks leading up to the passage of the health care legislation in 2010, Ms. Landrieu provided crucial support for the measure, after securing changes to help small businesses.

The administration cited “operational challenges” as a reason for the delay. As a result, it said, most small employers buying insurance through an exchange will offer just a single health plan to their workers next year.

Health insurance availability and cost are huge concerns for small businesses. They have less bargaining power than large companies and generally pay higher prices for insurance, if they can afford it at all.

Right.

"Operational challenges," like that lawsuit heading to the Supreme Court seeking to strike down the mandate tax as unconstitutional under the Origination Clause, Article I, Section 7 of the U.S. Constitution? Uh, yeah, that might be a challenge alright.

Thanks progs!

Freakin' Democrat idiots.

Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, UC Santa Cruz Hebrew Lecturer, Under Attack for Pointing Out Muslim Student Association's Ties to Hamas and Hezbollah

What's especially interesting about this is Professor Rossman-Benjamin spoke about MSA's terrorist ties at a private, (way) off campus talk at the Temple Ahavath Torah in Massachusetts, in June 2012.

BCF reports, "Prof Under Fire For Pointing Out Terror Links Of Muslim Student Association":

"Benjamin is shown describing students from the Muslim Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine as often being foreign students arriving at American universities from Muslim countries where they are "fed on a diet of anti-Semitism."

She accuses these student groups of having strong ties to terrorist organizations Hamas and Hezbollah, as well as the Muslim Brotherhood, and adds that they take part in international campaigns to demonize and illegitimize Israel.

"The MSA and SJP students have forcefully promoted their message on campus and in most cases there has been little resistance. As a result of the sheer quantity of MSA and SJP materials, an advanced anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian discourse has really dominated the campus square for over a decade, negatively affecting perceptions of literally hundreds of thousands of California University students," Rossman-Benjamin said."

The video is here.

Well, it's true, of course.

According to JPost:

"The MSA and SJP students have forcefully promoted their message on campus and in most cases there has been little resistance. As a result of the sheer quantity of MSA and SJP materials, an advanced anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian discourse has really dominated the campus square for over a decade, negatively affecting perceptions of literally hundreds of thousands of California University students," Rossman-Benjamin said.

Rossman-Benjamin co-founded the Amcha Initiative, an organization that aims to protect the "safety and well-being of Jewish college and university students" and to fight against anti-Jewish and anti-Israel discourse and behavior in classrooms and university-sponsored events.

An online petition by the Committee for Justice in Palestine at UCSC urges UCSC President Mark Yudof to condemn Rossman-Benjamin's "racist and defamatory claims."

In the petition, the group accuses the UCSC President's office of facilitating and promoting such remarks, saying that in an e-mail sent out to university students, Yudof adopted a "false narrative" presented to him in a letter written by Rossman-Benjamin, where she also makes claims tying the two student groups to Hamas and Hezbollah.

"The University of California and the Office of the President must take a clear stand against hate speech directed at marginalized communities, and distance itself from extremists like Tammi Benjamin and the Amcha Initiative that work to smear and silence student human rights campaigners," the group writes.

Right.

Because truth is "hate speech."
